Now when Pilate heard this, he was more afraid than ever.
When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge’s bench at a place called The Stone Pavement, or in Hebrew Gabbatha.
The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has claimed to be the Son of God.”
He entered his headquarters again and asked Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
